We all know this will be far from finished if it ever gets implemented, but could we atleast have something in the meantime? A test hopper with minimal regulation features, ANYTHING?!

good idea^

i think we're a ways off though. they still need to adjust some of the track limits too. it's been months since they had track limit visuals added and we still have some tracks where the natural race line can't be run cleanly (exs: prague chicane and vir...)

[/quote] I think this is possibly because Turn 10 still don't really know which direction to take the Motorsport series: More competitive racing, or more 'Car Culture' experience. I had previously thought the success of Horizons would solve this problem, but clearly it hasn't. In trying to please everyone, they're (rather unsurprisingly) struggling.[/quote]

The first (beta) hopper with Race Regulations could come as soon as March as just teased in the Forza Monthly stream

I wonder if it's good etiquette to cause some ruckus to help their testing?

Probably not but I think it would be a good idea to allow people to use Race Regulations in Private Lobbies, where people can smash each other without upsetting the general public.

I'll second that & maybe add it as an option for free play as well if we want to test it. I'd also love an incidents list, similar to F1 2018. That might help the Race Marshall's identify griefers & corner cutters easier.

I agree with Leetorts here. I am not the best at racing in a crowd so I choose ghost as I will not wreck anyone. I am fast and do pretty good especially on Ovals but I am not very good in a pack of cars. I try to hard to not crash someone...to the point of being in the way for giving too much room. It's disappointing to race as fast and as clean as I can and Finish 10th and find that I have the only clean lap. Probably why I finished so far back. Then I get docked league points for finishing so far back....shouldn't the corner cutters be the ones who get docked points and not the racers with clean laps that didn't cut corners. I understand it's faster to cut corners and you will also place better but it's not right forgone drivers who don't cut corners.

It's even worse than that. You get docked points in the NEXT race as well, because you'll start from the front of the grid, so even if you're good enough to finish first, you'll get fewer points than if you'd deliberately made every lap dirty and started lower down the grid, giving more points for places gained.

So I hope they not only penalise people in the current race but also fix the problem of the benefit gained in the following race if you dirty every lap.

Why do I get the feeling that this regulation system won't change the rammer mentality.....If anything this system will just provide them with a penalty stat at the end of every race so they can brag about it to their other rammer friends lol I feel like if you are a consistent griefer you should at least be banned from online for 10-15 mins. That way most people that are just there to cause trouble will usually just run out of patience and either 1) learn to race cleanly or 2) stop playing.

You aren't the only one. Rammer mentality is not the reason of all evil but a consequence of Forza developers not drawing the line between it being a racing game and it being a sandbox for 10 yr olds. Title 'Motorsport' is very misguiding and to be honest I feel scammed. This is my first Forza Motorsport game and most likely the last one unless they take a strong course on MotorSPORT part like GT Sport developers did. I don't understand how previous FM owners could buy this game again instead of switching to GT Sport. No wonder we don't see any 'IMSA deal' content. It's like Rocket League making a deal with NASA. Joke.
